Red, gold, and plum tipping at the winding check and male ferrules. Blued hardware throughout. Ring hook keeper. Swelled butt. Cigar grip is soiled but in excellent shape. Nickel silver checks on either side of the grip. Handsomely blued cap and ring over a very nice walnut insert. There are a few minor marks on the insert from a reel foot.
